Yeah. And she tried to straighten that, so she just ended up pulling it. So now I just got the veneers on, just creating that out. I mean, Invisaline that's scrating that out. Then she's going to add the veneers in later. Oh, so you have to do this in order to get the veneers. Yes. Yeah.

So that's why I'm at with it. Salute to Steve Harvey. Did you see that clip that was going on? He's not a business, man. He's a business, man. Did you see that clip with the cars? Oh, that when he said, why do I buy all these cars? I think that was on earn your lease, wasn't he?

Maybe. I don't remember. Is it why do I remember? I didn't watch it. I saw the headline. He said something about why do I buy all these nice cars? Because if I go broke, they'd be nice to sleep in or something like that. Oh, yeah, I didn't watch that.

Yeah. Because I'm not in the cars. Yeah. You know how people say they're not in the cars? Because, you know, when you don't have no money, like you see a Phantom go by, a Bentley go by, and you be like, I don't want that. Yeah. I never buy that. But you can't afford it.

You know how you know you really don't give a fuck about that shit? Why? When you can afford it. And you don't care. And still don't give a fuck. You know what I mean? Let me hear the clip. I never heard this.

I watched this interview, too, and I don't remember this part. People ask me all the time, then why you buy such expensive cars? Cause, if this all go away one day and I got to go back to living in a car, hilarious. That's going to be nice. Phantom, I'm in the back seat of a phantom.

You want to see me as out of the road. I got refrigerated in there. I got refrigerated in there. I got lights in this. That's what I'm going to be homeless. You think people forget Steve Harvey's a comedian? No.

Too legendary. You sure? Dude, the Kings of Comedy was so legendary. Classic! Maybe the youth they never ended up seeing it as possible. Yeah. How was your week? How was my week?

I don't know. Uneventful? Uneventful? Yeah. Same. Algin celebrated his birthday. I saw him, man. He had a dress on on Instagram.

No. Yeah, yeah. That was a drag. What was it? That was me at Burning Man. But it was still a dress. It wasn't a dress. It was actually a skirt.

I mean, you got to get it right, show. Come on, bro. Sequence. It looked good, though. What do you think about that? Do you think that, like, men will be more, will embrace the cross-dressing a little bit more? I think they already have.

There's no more gender. There's no more anything. Oh, my God. What? I guess, man. There's still gender. If there's no gender, why do we have pronouns? else. I have no idea. I don't understand any of this shit. I Jan Le Bonzon was on Breakfast Club

and she gave the best answer. She said, I don't understand any of it. So I don't speak on it. And that's how I feel unless I just feel like something's, you know, totally unfair. Like we had the, what happened? You saw the school in Vermont, right? What happened? The Vermont High School, the girls' high school team boycotted the game with a trans player and they got banned from tournaments. Like I'm reading it now. Vermont School that refused to play against an opposing basketball team where the trans player won't be able to participate in future tournaments to Vermont Principals Association announced on Monday. Mid-Vermont Christian School forfeited the game on February 21st and an out-of-state tournament

against Long Trail School. We withdrew from the tournament because we believe playing against an opponent with a biological playing with a biological male jeopardizes the fairness of the game and the safety of our players. That is what the head of the school, Vicki Fogg, said in a statement obtained by the Guardian. You know, I don't know who this guy was, and my bad, I'm not remembering what your name is, but there's a comic that had a joke about, he goes, I'm okay with trans women competing

in women's sports as long as I can bet on it. That shit was fire. And that literally will be what changes everything. Yeah. Because once you can gamble on it and we know who's going to win every single time, what I is the betting agencies will say you can't bet on it. And once you can't bet on the sports,

they'll stop sponsoring these huge events. And when they stop sponsoring these huge events, the events will start to go, well, we need that sponsorship money. It's got to come from somebody. And then they'll say, sorry, you can no longer compete because we don't have this money coming in. It hasn't hit the pockets just yet.

Once it hits the pockets, everybody gets settled. That's going to change everything because clearly listening to women, is it? Ooh, what does that mean? That means that You know, they tell us to listen to women in regards to everything else. What would you rather do? Watch women's sports or listen to women. I like watching women's sports.

I love women's basketball. All right. Well, that's the answer to the question. It's not like I was trying to be sexist or anything like that. That's a perfect answer to the question right there. You answered it perfectly. I just gave you an opportunity. I like doing both.

Gun to your head. Listen to a woman or watch them play sports. Listen to a woman. And when I say sports, I'm not talking about like, porn. I'm talking about like basketball, golf. You know what I mean? Listen to a woman. But it has nothing to do with the sports. It's the fact that if I had to choose when I'm going to choose listening to women because listening to women has gotten me very far in life. Yes, it has. Listening to women has gotten me very. 100%. So I would definitely listen to women. What's the best advice you ever got from a woman? Honestly, the best advice I ever got from a woman was listen more, listen more, talk less.

Ooh. Listen, listen more, talk less. And I mean, listen. Listen more. Talk less. And I mean, it depends what woman you talk about. Like my mom, of course, gave me great advice, but one of the things that she told me when I was young, read things that don't pertain to you. I remember a woman named Darcy Alexander

telling me something that stuck with me once I had kids. She was talking to me about relationships, and she was telling me about, like, you know, we were talking about our significant others, and she was like, you think you love your girlfriend now.

You'll really know if you love her once you have kids. And when you have kids, you experience love on like the purest level. And if you love your significant other like that, then that's really, really love. And I feel that way I love my wife, the way I love my daughters. You know what I mean?

I've gotten mad. I mean, I've gotten too much good advice from women over the years. But I was saying like with this, what you said is probably the answer. Would you like to know my best advice I ever got from women? I remember, God, I think I was like 26 years old. And this girl, this girl said to me, I got to get the phrasing right. Oh, she said, wrong hole.

So that was good advice that I got. Great advice. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, because I could have had a dick full of shit. There you go. But then I did it. Instead, you gave her a vagina full of dick. And you got a nut.

Damn. Dude, that was fire. The way you flipped that, there were so many things you could have got wrong. But you're a master of the English language right there. That was incredible. Shout out Larson Pippin, though. But salute to all the women.

No, I'm just saying sleuth to all the women, though, because nobody's clearly listening to women. They need to listen to women, yo. When women say, this is. It isn't fair. It isn't fair. They know when women say it's not fair for them to go against people who are born biologically male.

They tell us to listen to women in regards to everything else. Yeah. But when it comes to them saying this isn't fair, we all got to shut the fuck up. 100%. That makes zero sense to me. And I think that Vermont team is absolutely right. If they're saying that allowing biological males to participate in women's sports, that's a bad precedent for the future in women's sports in general,

if they're saying it's not fair, if they're saying it's not safe, who are we to tell them otherwise? You know what's funny is like anytime I talk to anybody trans about this issue, they're like, this is the least of our concern. I agree. Like every trans person I talk about this, they're like playing sports is the least of our concern. We're trying to not get killed for no reason. We're trying to not get beat up in the streets for no reason. We're trying to make sure that we can get like apartments and like the building won't stop us from being able to live there.

But being able to play volleyball in middle school or high school or wherever the hell. what happens, or college is not our number one on our list of priorities. I get it. It's going to be interesting when this translates to other areas, though. Like, you know, it goes into corporate America and you have executives who have to, you know, check off boxes and, you know, put women in these C-sweets. And they were like, you know, they check off the box by putting, you know, just men saying, hey, I identify as a woman.

I mean, I would do that. But that's what I'm saying. Like I can see people being that devious. 100%, especially in corporate America. A guy did that and I think El Salvador in a divorce. Really? Yeah, he's like, I identify as a woman so I could get my kids. No.

And he got the kids. And he got the kids. No. 100%. You know what I'm saying? You can't take kids away from their mother. That's what I'm saying. That's what's going to happen when it gets to like that corporate American stuff.

That's when people are going to talk being on. Did Trump get arrested? We're recording this on Tuesday. Did he get arrested yet or not. I'm not getting arrested, guys. Don't do this. don't do this don't do this

he's not getting arrested don't do this somebody go find the video where I said these exact words to Charlemagne and you were saying he's getting arrested I bet any amount of money

I said this three years ago I put it like this hold on if they indict if they indict a former president it's not gonna be for these charges these charges are weak as fuck hold on hold on

but you did say that you did say that he was going to get arrested and I was like they won't arrest a former president Yeah I think I agree with you now Yeah

I think I think I agree with you I don't see it happening bro This man I can't change my mind Upon further review You said it with so much conviction

though I believed in the checks and balances I believed that nobody is above the law Teflon Don has proven me wrong until further notice. And I still don't think that they'll do it. I don't think they'll do it there.

If you got, he's got all of these federal charges he's facing, right? Merrick Garland. We already know the classified documents. You might as well throw that out. They then got caught everybody with classified documents. That's out the window. I thought it was some taxes in New York that they want to catch more. That's still open.

That's still open? Yeah, they're still investigating that way. Oh, I didn't see that one. But every one of these rich motherfuckers breaks the law with taxes. And, man, basically they're saying that this small thing is just the whole thing. them and then there's going to be a bunch of other charges. They're saying this shit is a misdemeanor. No, I know.

This is just like. What they're saying is Trump, don't run for president. Yeah. That's what they're saying. And he's not getting the message. So why make him bigger? You know what this shit is, man? You remember in endgame when Thanos got hit in the chest?

And he's like, you should have went for the head. If it's not a head shot, yeah. Don't do it. So rumor is that a bunch of charges are going to start dropping from from everywhere around the country. They said New York,

Georgia, and the federal charges. That's only five. I heard five solid men. That's a lot. Not really, because this shit is a misdemeanor. You really need more than this

to arrest a president. Yes. And they talk about it. Yo, they're talking about indicting him, but not handcuffing them. Yo, all you're doing is making them bigger. I guarantee you over the last couple of days, all you've seen is so many donations going to Trump's shit.

I mean, that is 100% right. If you arrest him and he gets off, he was president guaranteed. They say this is a mis. They say this right here in New York is already a guaranteed misdemeanor. And I'm going to tell you what else is fucked up about it. Yes. Like it won't be a felony.

They say it won't be a felony. But I'm saying even putting him through this process is going to be enough to galvanize every person who is anti-establishment because this is abuse of power from the establishment. Already happening, man. People that I've talked to did somebody just somebody sent me this. They was like, you don't think? No. It's like he actually did these crimes.

It's just usually in the past. They don't know this is a crime though. No, it is though. they don't know if this is a crime because they said that somebody sent me this yesterday. It was like this isn't like, you know, one of the mobsters with tax evasion. It's more

like one of the mobsters stealing a cart and the cigarettes when he was on the come up. So the DA never really charges people unless they know they can win. Like their success rate is crazy hot. So they've been investigating this one for so long. They threw it out though. No, but this is just they used campaign funds

to pay off Stormy Daniels. Allegedly. Exactly. They can't prove if it was actual campaign. If the lawyer starts talking, they can't. I don't think that's going to happen. So here, now it's all contingent on the lawyer. So they're going to try to put as much pressure as they possibly can.

But eventually it's going to seem like, I don't know. By the way, we don't even know if the DA really wants the press charges. Well, that's the thing. This came from Trump. Trump put this out there. Oh, that's interesting. Trump's team say we haven't heard from the DA's office. Trump put this out there.

Wait a minute. So Trump, oh, wow. He has to be looked at as the victim. to be looked at as an underdog. So he's putting this information out. So people come to his aid and his support. They're afraid of me. They don't want me to run.

Look at this. They're trying to arrest me. They're trying to lock me up because they know that I can win. He was cold in these streets. Everybody was on DeSantis. He wasn't. No, they weren't. No, they weren't.

Bro, the GOP primary polls got Trump winning by a landslide. I don't know why we keep staying. How are you sleeping on your boy? Let me, let me clarify. Let me resate what I'm saying. Yes, I believe he does win the primary, but the energy in the Republican Party was towards DeSantis. It seemed like the Republican Party wanted DeSantis to win. That big guy who owns Citadel, what's his name?

It's the hedge fund Citadel. Look that up real quick. Ken Griffin. Ken Griffin. I think Ken Griffin. He actually supported Trump originally, and he switched his allegiance, I think, to DeSantis, a lot of big donors. going to DeSantis. So this is the first big push I've seen in the Trump direction in a while. Why do we- He made it happen himself?

Trump still was raising more money than DeSantis. Raised more money than all of them. And here's the thing. Why do we not act like the Republicans aren't the biggest dick-riding party in the world? Yeah, they're going to get in line. They're going to get in line. They're hedging the bets, though. Because they always do. We've seen this movie before. But they did that shit the first term with, they put everything in Jeb's coffee. Yeah. Yeah. And then. Trump called fire. You did. That's right.

That's the thing about this. Yeah, man. I wonder, I genuinely don't think that people want to deal with the chaos that comes to Trump. I think people enjoy this kind of malaise that we're living in right now where like you don't have to worry about spy balloons. A lot of people, there's global economic collapse. Nobody's really caring about it. Like there's all these crazy things that are happening and then people just aren't really caring. That is a wow. And it's very simple. You have a president that doesn't talk about anything and now you have nothing to rage against. Anytime Biden, does talk or mumble, he doesn't say anything coherent enough where, like, you can rage against it. With Trump, everything that he said became the polarizing issue of the week. Trump made everybody pay attention. Exactly. So nobody's paying attention to really the news. We don't want to pay attention. Yeah. We actually don't as human beings. Everybody's really enjoying this time right now. And I don't know if they want to be re-engaged. That's why they say ignorance is bliss. That is exactly what's happening. Oh, you're right. You're right. It's interesting,

no man, I don't think, I don't know if he goes to jail or not, but I don't think he gets indicted for this shit right here. Like this shit. There's got to be something bigger. It's got to be something bigger. And I'm gonna tell you, he can spend, he's already spending this to his advantage. Why? Because Alvin Bragg is black. Who's that? Alvin Bragg is the DA in New York. So when

you think he's a girl. No, he's black man. Alvin Bragg. There was fairly new though. There's a black woman that was going after him too. That's Tis James. Tis James is the Attorney General. Oh, that's the Attorney General. Alvin Bragg is the DA. So, but both of them, Tis James was pushing Alvin Bragg to press these charges.

All you got to, it's just the optics. This is wokeness. All his followers got to do. Go look at this campaign ads right now. Whose faces in them campaign ads? Alvin fucking Bragg. Got them guys speeding down the turnpike trying to get to New York on 26th from the country, coming from Long Island everywhere.

We got to go defend our guy. The optics of that, wokeness, black man, black woman. You don't care about that woke shit anymore, bro. Yeah, he's using the term. He's like, this is an attack from the woke. He's he's he's he's he's late bro He's antiquated it's over

Nobody cares about that shit No no no no no it's big It's big Because even DeSantis is using the woke card Like all of them using the woke card They gotta get a enemy That's what they label all liberals at Yeah I know but I'm just saying

They gotta figure someone else out Because the woke shit is kind of done Like the kids ain't woke anymore Like the youth youth The youngsters out here Like the kids who are in college right now They're rejecting the wokeness of the generation Before them

So they're wild motherfuckers Saying all the crazy shit I think white people, without white people, but the Republican Party co-opted wokeness and did what they always do, which is flipping and bouncing and remix it, so it's not even cool. Yeah. You know what I'm saying? So now you got liberals on TV denouncing wholeness because they know Republicans have

already co-opted it, so they can't even use the phrase anymore. You know what I mean? Yeah. I just don't see him going to getting indicted for this. I just don't. And if I was a big dog, if I'm Merrick Garland on one of them, I'm telling the DA in New York to fall back. back. Fall back, man.

Yeah, you're just heating them up. Fall back. Let's try to get some of these bigger charges that, you know, we probably actually can freaking get them on. But I don't see them in, I don't see them, I don't see them, I don't see them locking up a former president. I'm trying to tell y'all this shit for a long fucking time. No, you haven't actually. This is the first time he's ever said it. But it's good that you just said it right now. I almost believed you. It's truly remarkable what you're able to do. It's just kind of wild. It's just like, Yo, why?

They've never arrested a former president, indicted a former president. Why would they on these charges? Yeah. Like, these are, no. Well, they can't get them on the actual shit. I guess. I mean, Trump's probably...

I'm telling you. They're going to get them on this. It will be a misdemeanor. It won't be that serious. They're going to get them on the tax thing. That might be serious because that's more federal. Yeah. So that might actually prevent them.

No, if anything, it's the stuff in Georgia. But even once again with that, it's a black woman DA. What's the Georgia? The Georgia shit? The Georgia is the I think it's the election tampering. Yeah. Pull it, pull it up.

When he was like calling them, tell him, yeah, I need you to find the votes. Yeah, he said it was a perfect call. You didn't see him today. Play Trump from the day, Taylor. You just had it up. You didn't hear him today, yo. Greatest stand up in the country.

Yeah, he's so lovable. It's so lovable. If he wasn't fucking a threat to the free world. If he was on your side, I want a bullworth. I've always said I want a bullwark. Bullworth style president. And Trump is definitely a Bullworth style president.

If you've never seen the movie Bullworth, is this it? Oh, play this shit, man. Whether it's the Mar-Lago raid or the unselect committee hoax, the perfect Georgia phone call who is absolutely perfect, or the stormy horse face Daniels extortion plot, they're all sick. Come on, man. It's fake news.

Our enemies are desperate to stop us because they know that we are the only ones who can stop them, and they know it very strongly. And they're looking at the polls where, not me, but we are up by so much. They can't even believe it. We won twice, and now we've got to win a third time. They know that we can defeat them.

They know that we will defeat them. But they're not coming after me. They're coming after you. I'm just standing in their way, and I always will stand in their way. Thank you very much. Are we exhausted of the, they're coming after you, like be afraid every two seconds? It's been nice for a few years to not be afraid.

But here's the thing, that has been the Democrat, that has been the Democratic playbook for years. And the Democrat and the Republican and the Democrats. Both. Both. Definitely both. But no one's afraid right now. It's kind of nice. We're not even afraid of global economic doom.

We're not afraid of Chinese spy balloons. We're not afraid of anything. There's no fear. I'm not afraid because I'm not allowing myself to be afraid. But so many people are afraid of this economy. Yes. 100% bank account And inflation

Are they afraid of it? The bank thing, I definitely have some conversations About the bank thing With my financial people like You sure? You know what I mean? That was scary But like I'm looking at this article right now

Some Democrats fear Arresting Trump could backfire A question of scrim for charges Some Democrats fear that the potential charges Facing former President Trump From the Manhattan DA Are not up to the task It could backfire

This is an open and shut Books and Records Misdemeanor You know it's kind of funny. Now to elevate it to a felony is complicated. You remember all the Republicans that were like, yeah, we can't give out these, what did they call? What were they called? Like bonuses and shit during the pandemic?

Stimuluses. Oh, stimulus. Yeah, yeah, yeah. We can't give out all these stimuluses. We can't print this money. We can't do this shit. We can't. It's bad for the economy. You can't do this. Where are they with all these people who are bailed out at their banks that fail? Like, I want to know where the conservatives are who constantly criticize government interference. Oh, got you.

I want to know where they are right now when the government interfered and secured their deposits at the banks. I've yet to hear one of them speak out about how inefficient government. Why would they? That's their stimulus. 100%. I just, I think at some point we just need them to go, okay, you know, sometimes it is nice to have a government. Sometimes it is nice that the government has your back. Sometimes it is nice that the government interferes.

Don't get me wrong. I don't want to pay more taxes. I want to pay less taxes. I'd love to. That'd be great. I get where they're coming from. But at the same time, it is nice to have the security of the government there

to potentially protect you from circumstances. Absolutely. Absolutely. I mean, they'll never let the economy totally fucking crash. Famous last words, my boy. Don't ask for it. Don't ask for it now. This article says there are far more serious crimes.

Trump should be held accountable for. And they said this is the biggest thing. Bragg's investigation is just one or three Trump is currently facing and the charge is stemming from it may be the easiest ones for Trump to defeat. A failed prosecution of the former president who opponents have long dreams of locking up could only serve to bolster his common refrain that he is the victim of a witch hunt.

That's true. Yeah. But also, how are you going to call a girl you paid to fuck horse face? That's one of the most audacious things I've ever seen in my entire life. You're insulting a girl. Not that you fucked, that you paid to fuck. Trump is different, bro. Imagine what he says about the girls that just fucked him.

I thought he said he never fucked to him. No, he smashed. I thought he said he never smashed, but he just did it. He settled just to settle us and shit like that. No, I think he decked down. The funniest shit was after Ron DeSan just made his comments. He called him Meatball Ron? Man, Trump said, he basically, Trump told him like, you know,

let me hear it. This is it right here? He called him Meatball Ron. No, you got to find Trump's tweet, bro. You're talking about this situation with, and like, I don't know what goes into paying hush money to a porn star to secure silence over some type of alleged affair. I just, I can't speak to that.

But what I can speak to is that if you have a prosecutor who is ignoring crimes happening every single day in his jurisdiction and he chooses to go back many, many years ago, tried to use something about porn star. But Trump kind of, it wasn't the news. Newk, but remember that fucking bomb? He sent that big bomb. He just dropped in the desert one time. You don't remember that shit? We were the time when

Trump just dropped a big-ass bomb in the desert. It wasn't a nuke, but it was some big-ass bomb they never used before. That was this shit, yo. Mother of all bombs. I thought that was some Russian shit. He dropped that shit in the desert. Hold on. Let me see it. Find the shit that Trump said,

you. Trump's response to Desanthus and the underage girl. find this shit. Not when he called him Ron DeSanctimonious. No, no. This was last night, man. I thought Trump was rusty. He just got back on stage after a while.

Did it? Trump suggests, yeah, here you go. Trump suggests DeSantis will face allegations from underage girls are possibly a man. After speaking out on Manhattan Probe. I need to see it. I didn't see a video. He posted a picture.

It's like an old picture of Ron DeSantis when he was like a teacher. And it looked like he was partying with like some younger girls. Former President Donald Trump lashed out at Florida Governor Ron DeSantis on Monday after DeSantis spoke publicly about Trump's potential indictment over in a parent. 2016 hush money payment to a porn star warning the Florida governor. He might face allegations from a woman, even classmates that are underage, are possibly a man. You know what that's basically saying. Fuck with me, you know I got it.

Okay. Don't make me do it till you, Dunny, because I overdo. do it. Right? That's what he's saying, bro. People forget when... He'll go there. What? Yo, when they did the whole grabbing by the pussy thing, and they tried that and Trump knew they had the debate coming up, Trump went and had a press conference with all the women who have accused Bill Clinton of sexual... Now, he sat them front row. He did the debate. He did a press conference with him first, then sat him front row. I mean, I think it was all the women who accused Bill Clinton of sexual

assault or stuff, something like that. Trump said in the truth social post that Ron de sanctimonious will probably find out about false accusations and fake stories sometimes in the future before suggesting you could be about a relationship with a man. Some comment critics said were homophobic or transphobic. What's interesting about that is that probably would hurt Ron politically because all of these people are hypocrites, right? Yeah. Because they believe in the Bible so much, but then a lot of them be on the down low and a lot of them be having boyfriends. But they'll look at this and say, oh, you're in a relationship with a man, I can't vote for you.

You know, like you're going against what the Bible says. Do you think that he's gay? You think Brown is gay? I don't know, man. I've never thought about it. Why do you think he's gay? I mean, why would Trump say that? Because you know what could hurt him politically?

Are there some pictures? But he's saying there's evidence. Yeah, he got something. He got something. That's all I'm saying. He's letting him know, don't make me do you to you, Dunney. because I'll overdo it. Okay.

Fuck with me. You know I got it. That's just a shock. Like, hey, Ron. I was in there for four years, bro. Oh. You know what I mean? I had access to everything.

I know where all the bones are buried. Okay? And there was a couple in your asshole. That's what he's saying? That's all he's saying, yo. This is, this amazing how they keep playing right in the Trump's hands, though, man. Because even with the news. Yeah.

Who is going to run against Trump in 2024 when all he does is suck all the air out of the news cycle, yo. Yeah. Like what? I mean, is Biden going to run again? I have no idea what Biden's going to do at this point. Yeah. I really don't. I really don't.

Saturday, April 22nd, Black Effect Podcast Festival. Larsa Pippen has sex four times a date. Can we talk about that, though? Yes. Let's listen to Larsa. What does Larsa say? You're telling me you had sex four times a night

when you were married? No, I had sex four times a night every night. I never had a day off for 23 years. Wait, what? What? Yes. What?

Your poor vagina. You had sex 28 times a week. Yeah, I swear. For 23 years? Yeah. So on the road to you when he was traveling? We never spent time away from each other. Like we had a private plane.

I traveled with my kids. Yeah. Marcus has big shoes to fill. Yeah. We wears the size 15 shoes. I think he's okay. Oh, yeah. You, Andy Cohen is an instigator, my boy.

Marcus has big shoes to fill. That's wild. I think. That's his name Andy Cohen. Yeah. Lars is lying. Can we start there? Scotty is one of how many kids?

I hate it. 12 or 13. She's lying. And you know. 12 or 13 kids. I don't know. I have no idea how many kids. At least 13.

Scottie Pippen? Yeah. I don't know. I really don't know. Sky's one of 13 kids. They only got four. Say again? All that fucking, they only got four kids.

Because you reduce the quality. Wow. I know she's lying. And he was. cheating. That's crazy. You know who told me she was, you know who told me she was lying? Who? Other women. Other women who was like, yo, there's no way every day, four times a day, every day for 23 years. I mean, I could do it. No periods. So that means through periods. Yeah. That means, that's not that. That means after, after you even have the baby, you're not even supposed to have sex for

six weeks. Yeah. So that means through that, she did some, I saw Nicole Murphy was on my Instagram. She was like, not even a cold. The flu? Like, you were just, healthy the whole time. You made every road trip. Like, come on, yo. And she doubled down on it. Like, no, that's true. Like, why? Why do people lie for a living? Like, why do we do this?

Like, you could just say we had sex a lot. You don't have to say we had sex four times a day every day for 23 years. How many times? You think it was a lot, at least? Clearly it was a lot if she thinks it was four times a day. Remember how you said Alex got hit one time? Or no, the guy got Alex hit the guy. One time.

It felt like eight times. Exactly. So clearly Scotty was hitting it so hard. She must have thought she was getting it four times a day. Has Scotty talked about this? Like he's back in a new. Why would he? I mean.

Why would he? Let me tell you something, man. Scotty Pippin is a top 50 NBA player. I think last time I checked they had him at number 33. Could he have been top five if he didn't do this? If this is true? Yeah. He's top 15 easily.

But if he didn't do it, could he be the greatest ever? With this, he's top 15. because he did all of this while still playing in the NBA Shultz tell me how it feels the bus one nut now pretty good do you have energy to do anything else no exactly

this guy with the top 50 NBA players practice NBA all that can we go Tim Foil hack can we go conspiracy here okay who is the greatest competitor of all time Michael Jordan and Michael Jordan and Tom Brady between those two fair enough and does Michael Michael Jordan believe that he's the greatest of all time?

Yes. 100%. And it's very important to him that he's the greatest of all time. Yes. And if he saw an upcoming threat, I don't know, maybe a six, seven to six, nine point card with unbelievable defense, ball handling ability, passing. Yeah, point forward. A physical specimen that has not been seen in the NBA before that could potentially

threaten his ring. Is it below Michael Jordan to find a woman that? that can catch dick four times a night to weaken him, to destroy his knees, to destroy his back, and potentially to destroy the greatness that he could achieve in his career to maintain his top spot. Scott, he did have a lot of back issues, right? Chanish Sharp was throwing it out there.

God damn. Is this Michael Jordan's diabolical plan to make sure he's number one? That means that he's been planning this for at least 30, 40 years. Of course. If you do this for me, I promise you my firstborn son. Whoa Full circle Whoa

MJ's the goat That's the goat MJ's the goat You get his first born son Jesus Christ Whatever's left of her Wow Not just saying that's a lot

That's a lot Do you care about this if you're a new boyfriend I mean Bother you that this information is public It can't feel good Yeah, yeah, yeah. It can't feel good, right? Yeah.

Can't feel good. Yeah. I don't know, man. Scotty got a lot of unbelievable stats. This is one I just don't believe. I just don't believe he was putting up these kind of numbers, bro. Yeah, I don't. It's unbelievable.

This is over 30 plus thousand times that Dave had sex if this is true. Yeah. It's like 33,000 plus. That's not hard to do. It's only, how many, what, 52, how many 365 days in a year? It doesn't, man. It doesn't, man. is the simple multiplication.

It doesn't matter. Done what? Have sex? I had one of those one time in my life. How long? How many times do you do? Because I was, I had gotten to a car accident, and I was on, that was the first time I was ever on,

I think it was oxy. It was some type of painkillers. I'm assuming it was oxy. Yeah. And that was the first time I was ever on oxy, and oxy had me feeling crazy. Like, you know what I mean? And like, that was when you're young,

when you're young, you've experimented with having sex high off weed, and you've experimented having sex drunk. So being on the oxy, you're like, oh, I know sex probably feel crazy. And it was just like one of those times, it's like, yo, let me just see how many times I could nut in the day.

And you were jerking off or having sex? No, I was having sex. It's impressive. Impressive. I don't remember past, I don't think, I don't think I did it more than three, though. I don't remember getting off point three. I think three is the most that I've done it.

Yeah. Yeah. I don't think, I don't remember anything more than three, yo. Yeah, and two of those are absolutely useless. The last one is definitely, I'm not even joking when I say to that. What are we trying to do here?

Yeah. At one point, I was barely getting a wreck towards the latter times. And I feel like I could be making this up, but I feel like I might have been skeeting blood at that point or something. Wow. I'm saying I was high. I probably was making this up.

Yeah, I don't know if you were coming blood. Sperm is nothing but blood. Y'all know that, though, right? That's not true. Look it up. That's not. Look it up. Sperm is blood.

Taylor, Google is sperm blood. I think sperm is sperm. Google is sperm blood, Joe. It's sperm blood. It's sperm blood. Most often, no cause can be found for the blooded semen. No, no. Click on that.

The thing you're saying is so ridiculous, Google doesn't even understand it. They're like, he must mean something. else. So it's solving other questions that you don't have. Hold on. But what is sperm made of? What is sperm made of? They're not the same, but they serve the same purpose in that they get nutrition into the pool. See, hold on. Come on. Put the mic on to the smart guy. Come on. Come on. He tried to help you. He's trying to bail you out. Where's the mic? Are you talking to the mic? No, he's not. There's a mic over it. Come on. Come on. Come on. What is sperm made out of? Bail me out.

Bha-Mah Aswaganda. Oskosh-Begas. It's not actually blood. It just serves the same purpose. So you're wrong. It's not blood. So there's sperm running through our veins?

No. No, there's no... So what do you mean they serve the same purpose? What's the brain? Natives? I don't care. I can be wrong. The title saves us every time. What does it mean to serve the same purpose, though? Explain that to me. Pseman contains citric acid, free amino acids, fructose, enzymes, phosphorocloin. Potassium, zinc.

It just provides the nutrients to your balls the same way blood provides nutrients the rest of your body. So, I'm going to tell you something, bro. First of all, that sounds very tasty, right? What you just described. Citric acid, free amino acid, zinc, enzyme. You might need to drink your own sperm, brother. I'm serious. I'm not even joking, yo.

What? No, I didn't try. A little bit got on your mustache. That don't count. Yeah. Yo, this might be the key. Hit my face. Go back to that top 10 shit that we read.

All of that shit is in sperm. Protein shape, bro. You might need to make the sperm protein shake, bro. Might be right. That might be it, man. Might be right. What else we got, Taylor, gang? Lars and Pippins.

And you know what, though, you know the beauty of, I like about the larger Pippin thing. Everybody has had enough sex to know that that's probably not true. So that's not even one of those things, but women are looking at your man like, damn, you need to step it up. They know. They know that shit. They don't want that either.

Nah. Taylor, four times a night? No. But you want multiple. Let's go round. What do you mean? Let's go round. Rounds mean four times a night, Taylor.

Go on the mic. Go on the mic. Go on the mic for this ridiculousness. Four times is just four rounds, Taylor. I feel like, what are y'all talking about? Because we could do one in the morning time, afternoon, and the evening. That's too much. Every day?

Not every, no, no, absolutely not every day. No, no, I don't need every day. When? Like three times a week. You want to have sex three times a day, three times a week? No, no, no. Depends. Three times?

It depends. Especially if I'm high? Yeah. He said, especially if I'm high? Jesus Christ. For what? What? I had, well, you know, girls have,

multiple orgasms though. If I only get off once, and that's the thing too. If you only get off once. It's another thing. Okay, so if we have sex once, right? Yeah. And I have multiple orgasms, that I'm good. Oh, so you are multiple orgasms.

Yeah. So however you get it is fine. Right. Why is one orgasm not enough? This is not. Do you know what an orgasm is? Even when I masturbate is, it's not enough. But what if you don't know what an orgasm is, actually, and you're feeling something else.

don't do. Well, an orgasm should feel like extreme relief. Yeah. And then I'm ready to go. No, I'm ready to go back again. Hmm.

We just built different, though. Ha! We are. We are. I know I was saying as is a female and male. No, you're right. You are built different. You can run it back.

I mean, that's just exhausting looking at this fucking large of 50. I mean, think about it. Y'all do much of the pumping, though. It's not like... Who? Males. Like, y'all, like, when it comes to sex,

y'all are doing more of the work. Don't try me, Alex. I'm not no fucking starfish. I'm not a starfish. I'm not a starfish. She just lays there like a starfish at the bottom of the ocean. Don't try me. First of all, first of all, yeah, but at the same time, how do you think I got these hips and ass?

From sitting on your fucking ass doing nothing? No. No. No. No. How dare you give some bum-ass Philly John? No. I'm just saying I'm working out. I'm just saying I'm working out.

I've seen your mama. What, wait, what do you mean? What do you mean? What do you mean? She's thick, She's thick, man. She's thick. Hold on.

Hold on. No, that's not disrespectful. What you want your mom to have no ass built like a board? What's your mama bringing me next week? Nothing at all. It's not. Ew. Stop way with me.

What is your mama bringing me next week? What does your mama like to make for me? To be gone, tell the truth. Tell the whole, bruce- First of all, man. They don't want to tackle a room. That's so water traffic! I love Taylor's mama.

Taylor, tell the truth. What does your mom like to make for me? What is she like to make for you? Don't even say like for you because you haven't had it in a while. I had it though. Oh! I had it though. What was it, Taylor?

I'm not playing with you because I have a father and he will fuck you up. I love your dad. I'm just telling you what does she make for us? What did she make for us? Since I got to say us. My mom knows how to make good pie and great pound cake. Pound cake? Hold on, hold on.

Is pound cake a suggestion? Shut the fuck up. Hold on. I love that. How we hate it. Wow. I love Taylor's Mother's Pie. I hate show.

I hate show. Y'all not about to do this. How dare you give these dirty Philly Johns the credit for the work. Your mom put it in, your mom's genetics got you like that. Taylor's genetic. That ain't no man. I'm saying how to keep. it up? Yeah. No.

Yes. No. I'm working out too. No. Y'all be giving these men all the credit, bro. Jesus Christ. Just disrespectful. Word. Got your guys. I sound like Dr. Miami. For no damn reason. Respectful. Let's pay some bills, man. This Taylor,

I just can't believe you would just do that. You just discredited your mama's jeans. You know what I'm saying? For no reason. This episode has been brought to you by Squarespace.

Set the tone. And let's get back to the show. Yes. Back to the show. What's going on with you, man? What's up with your life? I feel good, man. You do?

I do. I really feel good. I'm not even joking when I say that salute to my man, Elliot Connie. Elliot Connie is one of the most culturally competent psychotherapist. that you were ever meet in your life. Had them on Breakfast Club this morning.

Is he your personal one? Yeah, he is. Oh, wow. I didn't know how I would feel. Sharing him with the world. Yeah. Interesting. Yeah, you know, because he has, like,

I don't know, man, he does this thing when he says he always wants to break your brain. He wants to break your brain. He wants to break your mental health. And I just feel like he has, it's called selective, selective no, it's called solution

um I'm going to tell you all right now. It's called solution focused therapy. Okay. So it's called solution focused brief therapy sessions. But it's about, it's called solution focused therapy. So his whole thing is like, you know,

we can sit around discussing the problems. But he likes to get right to solutions. And man, I have to admit like a lot of things that he's talking to me about, a lot of things that I've been implementing. It's been really, really working. Like what? What's something?

I mean, I know it sounds crazy to say, but even like in regards, a lot of it is more parenting for me because, you know, parenting is like my biggest concern more than anything right now, parenting being a husband. And, you know, sometimes you question yourself as a father, especially me being a man, raising young women, because how, how much? beat myself up for yelling. You know what I'm saying? Well, what are you yelling at? I mean, just, like, I'll yell when, like,

one of them, like, one of them's not listening. It's really just one of them, to be honest with you. You know what I mean? But it's like, when one of them's not listening, and, like, I find myself getting really short, tempered, and yelling, but then that yelling turns to me sitting down with them, having an actual conversation, because those are things that never happened to me when I was younger, you know, when I was younger. When I was younger growing up in the 1900s, it was do as I say, you know, period.

You know, there was no explanation, but kids are like naturally curious. So a kid's going to ask you why. If I say, you need to go do that. Why? Of course. There's no need to get short with them and feel like you're being disrespectful. Because I fucking said so. That's what you want to say.

But at the same time, they're trying to learn. Sometimes you do, but I never, my approach is like, this is the reason why. And what you realize is, man, you're raising more intelligent kids that way. You're raising, you know, kids who understand, I guess, I don't want to say conflict resolution, but understand how to communicate, you know, more that way. And, you know, one of the biggest things, even having a teenager is like, you know, you always feel like your teenagers disrespecting you. And, you know, one thing that he said that, he said it on the show today, but this is something

he told me in a session was that you want your kids to disrespect you. You're like, what, what, excuse me, you know, but he has a reasoning behind it. Can I, can we play it, Taylor? You, you told me the other day that you feel like kids should disrespect their parents. I think kids, I think parents should expect. Jason, let me, let me put that in context. How many of you guys in this room would like to raise your children to be strong-minded, independent thinking, ambitious kids or adults, right?

Well, if you are going to insubes, still that. Part of that is confidence. Part of that is voice. Part of that is knowing I have value. And when you're teaching your child that, and I'm talking five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten. The first place they practice voice is on you guys. Correct. That's the first place. So you might say to them something. And I'm going to tell you something. My mother, I had two brothers. My mother would say, Ellie, go do the dishes. And I would be like, why didn't you ask one of them? And that would get me popped. You know, that would get you left in. That would get you. Pop and I told you so. Yeah. But if you're teaching your child to be confident,

to be strong, to value their voice, they should ask those kinds of questions and it allows you to parent them. But we shouldn't translate that as disrespect. They're just practicing. That's not disrespect. They're practicing their voice. That was in our era.

In the 1900s, I would never think to talk back. I would never even think to talk to my parents the way my kids talk to me. But it's like, as I said, it's not disrespect. It's just them being like asking valid questions. But that's also the way white people, people raise their kids doing that.

Yeah. Because like my grandmother, you could never, she'd tell you whatever to do. Paint the house. Just go painting. You don't know how to paint. We confuse respect for silence. And I think that's a problem. I think we have to allow our children.

We respond on that. Well, we, if, if I say go paint the house and the child says, yes, ma'am, it goes paint. We think, oh, that's such a respectful child. But that same child, if some strong-willed 17-year-old kid in high school says, let's go skip school. They're going to say, yes, sir. Like, we have to teach them to question,

why am I painting the house? I should understand the context of the life that I live in. Why am I painting the house for these reasons? Okay, now it makes sense to me. And I understand, and I can do things that I understand and push back on things I don't. That's why white folks got kids on leashes in the malls because of stuff like that.

Yeah, I don't, I don't agree with you with that, L.A., because it's, and this is going to sound crazy. All right, here we go. I got six kids. So if I tell one of my kids, kids to do something. I expect it to be done. I'm not going to do it with something that's going to be detrimental to their health, something that's going to hurt them. It's part of of what everybody needs to do to be in this household. I agree with you. Meaning if if dad's

chores or dad's way is to make the money, pay the bills, do this, that, and the other, and I ask you to shovel the snow, don't ask me why. Don't say, well, why didn't you ask this, this, you know, sibling. Why didn't you ask this one? No, because I asked you to do it. But you could explain it to them just the way you explained it. Invy, listen. I shouldn't have to. Because now you're asking because when you say, when you say, hey, dad, I want to play basketball and cleats cost $500. I don't say, well, they're cheaper cleats. I'm like, oh, your grades are good. Okay, I got you those cleats.

But you should have that conversation on both ends of the spectrum, though. Now, I agree with you. If I say to my child, go do this, you want them to go and do it. I guess they paint the house. Why that's a really good example is to a child, they have thought without wisdom. So you might ask the child to mow the lawn,

but in their child brain, you ask me to paint the house. It's not, you have to help me understand. So you might ask the child to mow the lawn, but in their child brain, you ask me to paint the house. It's not,

you have to help me understand the world in which I live. And I think it's both ends of the spectrum. If the child says, I want to play basketball and I need $600 Jordans, I don't think it's enough to just say, oh, you got good grades. You want to sit them down and explain

to them. Like this $600 is hard to earn. And you are worth it. And then that child thinks they have value and that child understands the world in which they live. But remember, guys, like, they get confidence, they get thought, they get spontaneity before they get wisdom. Yeah, see, I grew up getting

beatings. Yeah. You know what I'm saying? And I can tell you right now, beatings don't do anything for a child's confidence. You know what I'm saying? Beatings don't do anything for a child but make a child insecure and make a child question everything. Can I ask a question about that right there? So what would his suggestion be? Like let's say you want your child to mow the lawn or whatever.

What would, and he goes, why do you want me to mow the lawn? Have the conversation with him and why he needs to mowelow? And what is that conversation? Like, what would that be for me? It would be like you need to mow the lawn because, you know, this is part of growing up in this house. You don't have a job. Oh, we all need to contribute to this home. We all need to contribute.

You don't have a job. You know what I mean? I do what I do to make sure things move coolly in this house. Your mom does what she does to make sure things move coolly in this house. You need to do what you need to do. And that's just part of growing up and coming of age. You know what I mean? Like my daughter's a teenager.

She got chores now. You know, even my seven and four-year-old. Y'all have to clean your rooms. Like that's just part of living in this house. So that's your explanation. Absolutely. This is the responsibility you have. for living in this house. Absolutely. And the older you get, the more responsibility you have living in this home.

That's it. Yeah, I like that. I like explaining to them because I do agree with you. It's like, I've never done what I was told in my life. Never. Our forced to do. Oh, I refuse to do anything that I'm forced to. But my whole life has been like fighting for no rules. But I have repeated the things that my parents did that I observed. So I really kind of locked in on their behavior. And then I think that I have continued that behavior. And I think that I'm very fortunate that I had really good parents so that they set like a good standard

of what behavior should be, like hard work, et cetera. But not everybody has that shit. Absolutely. So then like, what do you do if you're a parent and you are emotional and you are irrational and you do act in a way that you don't want your kid to act but you're acting like that in front of them? Like, what do they do?

They have to go through therapy. They've got to fix that shit. Like, yeah, and I think about me, you know what I was thinking about, I was thinking about, God damn. how much pain for the adults that I grew up around going through that they could just beat us the way he did with the extensions cords, with the switches,

the way they just used to haul off and pop us with the hands, all of that. Because the reality is I beat myself up when I raise my voice at my children. I can't even yell at my kids. I guess. It's different. If you were a badass little teenage boy

checking you in front of your. wife telling you to go mow the lawn. Yo, you know, imagine your son when you ask you mow the lawn and you go, why, so you could hug that tree later? Kicking him in his chest. You know what I'm saying? Roundhouse.

Bound. Imagine? You know what I'm saying? Why are you always hugging that wood, maggot? You said that to your son. What if your son in your home in front of your wife? Said, why are you hugging that tree? That's wild as hell if your son

learns gay slurs. Because I would be the dad. That's a gay slur. That's maggot. I know, but I would be the day. Don't do that. Okay. Maggot don't hit the same. I would be the dad that let the son watch all the old movies. Yep.

And then you wonder where he gets it from. Hey, man. You're right. Those were the nukes back then, boy. I'm just saying. Because, you know, especially in this era of bullying. Oh. Like, if you raise your kid with a 90s sense of humor,

nobody will play with him. Oh, forget it. Nobody will play with him or her. He need to be strapped. Yeah, we need to be strapped. He'll hurt up. That's the type of bullying. That's the type of.

Bullying disco make some, bro. That's the fact. We got to keep those words out of their mouths. You ain't lying, yo. It's so crazy. I don't know, man. That's the most difficult thing in my life right now. Which is what?

Finding a way to discipline your kids. Parenting, yeah. I mean, because, you know, I said this on the air, and a woman called in, because I said, there's no manual to it, and the woman called in, and she was like, there's plenty of books. And everybody got to plan until you get punched in the face.

Didn't Mike Tyson teach us that? Like, you don't know it until you're in it. And I got four. And they range in ages. You think you got better with each one? So your last kid is getting your best parenting? My third and fourth. I wasn't even present, like really.

I mean, I was present as far as physically. But emotionally. I was in these streets. Yeah. You know what I'm saying? I was out here. I was still running around getting drunk and high and on drugs in L.A. And I was wiling.

I was living this new radio star life. Like I wasn't the parent. I wasn't even close. Now, do your kids know that or are they too young? Nah, I mean, I don't think they know that. I don't think so. I mean, I talk to my oldest daughter about it, though. What do you say?

Well, you just have real conversation. I'd tell her the truth. You know what I mean? Like, just because she's 14. She'll be 18 and four years. Like, in four years, like, in four years, she'll be starting college. Like, you should be having those conversations with your teenage kid. Think about when your dad first started having real conversations with you.

How old were you? I don't remember. But it had to be, you were old enough to I'm sure to process it, right? I've never felt like my conversations with my parents changed at a certain age. Wow, that's a blessing, bro. And I've always felt like I could tell them whatever I was going through emotionally. That's what I want. That's all I want.

Very lucky. That's all I want. Very lucky. But also my parents have been in therapy my entire life. So the idea of like sharing things with them, the idea of depression, the idea of anxiety, like these things weren't like novel things for me. I'm incredibly lucky that I grew up knowing, that these things existed.

And I was like analyzing my emotional stability constantly. So like when I thought that I was maybe down or whatever, I wasn't like, why do I feel like this? I knew what these concepts were. So I could kind of prepare myself for them. Very lucky. That's all I want, man. And see, that's why like therapy, even like, for, you know,

my oldest daughter, like put her in therapy just because. You know what I mean? Just so she can learn how to continue, how to process her emotions, learn how to communicate all of that good stuff, You know what I mean? And she's smart enough to know like, nah, this ain't, this is the therapist ain't for me. That's good.

You know what I mean? Like, she's a very good communicator because I'm a good communicator, but not because anybody taught me how to communicate. Can I ask you something? Is it difficult now that your, like, daughter is old enough to consume the content that you put out? It's the worst. Yeah, like, how does that affect how you create? Are you worried it all about the things you've done the past and how it could make? I'm not worried about another passion.

Because the passion is the passion, you know what I'm saying? I'm not worried about that. I'm more concerned about what I say now. I'm more cognizant of things that I say now. And it's interesting because I used to have a program director. I don't know if it was George Cook and Chris Conner's. They used to always tell me, talk like your mom or grandmas in the room. It's like, well, that's not what's going to make this happen.

But to a certain extent, yeah, but I never talked around them anyway. You know what I mean? So now it's more so like talk like your daughters are in the room. Like your daughters are going to hear this because they do. Like, oh, my God, they're in high school. Like, who do you think is consuming this shit that we put out? Like, the brilliant idiots and the breakfast club, like, I guess nothing crazier than sitting at dinner

and one of your daughter's friends turns to you. I was like, I was on YouTube, and I was, you know, I love scissor, and I was just going down to scissor, and they was feeding me things, and I saw you talking to scissor. I'm like, oh, shit. You know what I mean? Like, you know, you just don't know what version,

what variance of Charlemagne they're going to see. You know, so. So do you get anxiety? Not anxiety. It's just, I'm just cognizant of the things that come out of my mouth. Any guilt? Nah. Not guilt.

Nah, none of those things. Not guilt. Nah. Because the funny part about kids, as we know, kids have way more of a sense of humor than these fucking curmudgeon-ass adults. Yeah. Who grow up to be sensitive about everything. Kids just find shit funny.

Yeah. You know, so when they might run across them shit, that's just. some funny shit that they see. Also, kids, their very nature of finding themselves is rebellion. Yes.

So if what they see is a bunch of sensitive people offended by everything, that becomes uncool, so they want to rebel against what is uncool. Yes. So if we're, like for example,

like in the 80s or whatever, like, or in the 60s, whatever the fucking like hippies and shit we're all around, right? Like things are going to button up the next generation is going to be super buttoned up, but almost conservative.

And that's going to constantly flip-flop back and forth, Democrat, conservative, liberal, conservative. And, yeah, that's just rebellion. It's going to be in there. But the conversations that they're even having is, like, mind-blowing. Like what? Like, my daughter would even just tell me about a conversation

because they all had to pick a topic that they wanted debate on. And, like, the oil pipelines. And, like, you know, somebody was like something about religion or politics. They're like, no, no, no. that's just going to cause argument. Like, you know what I mean? Like the fact that they're even aware of that. Oh, they said that?

They stopped the conversation because they thought it would cause arguments? Yeah, it was like, that's just going to call the argument. Let's talk, you know, and I'm like, wow. A dinner with you? No, no, no, no. This is like something they're doing in school. She was telling me that they're doing in school. Like, they all got to get in these different groups and have these teams and pick

one topic to present to the class. But they were in the process of them picking all of these different topics. They were shooting certain things down just because I'm like, eh, that's going to cause arguments. You know what I mean? That's going to cause the arguments. debates. And I was like, that's right. You never debate, you never debate politics and religion. Remember those days? Well, we like to do that all the time. We do. But remember when we used to

keep politics and religion to ourselves? Never. I've never been able to have a, yes, you did. I've never been able to have a like a limiter on conversation. Really? Yeah. Wow. Now I, okay, here's my, my last question. Uh-huh. Now that your daughter's probably in the age where she's, you know, if she likes boys, she's liking boys, whatever, relationships, that kind of stuff like that. Is that And not difficult in terms of Will you be okay with the girl The guy she dates or whatever

Like that's gonna be difficult But like her perception Of your relationship She's lived for two Charlemans Right? She's lived for faithful, loving husbands I mean she didn't see none of that though She didn't see

Yeah yeah but it's possible that she's aware Because you've been so honest And so open and so truthful about your past and also like where you are now. Is there like, and if this is too personal, we don't have to talk about it, but I'm just curious. Like, is there a part of you that's ever like, how are you making sure that this version of you is the one

that she's influenced by and she looks for in a man? I think she will be just because this is the version that she's probably, this is the only version she's seen in her formative years. Right. You know what I'm saying? she was younger when all of that was going. So she didn't understand conceptually what it was.

Not at all. Not at all. And one thing that I've always been very aware of is what people say about their parents. Like I always hear stories of, you know, especially women telling me the relationships they saw their parents have. Like they saw their dad hugging all over their mom or slapping their mom on the butt or constantly, I love your mom, stuff like that. So that sticks with women forever. Like, Taylor, I'm sure you've seen that with your mom and dad, right? Really?

Taylor says she don't see it. Of course, Taylor. Tell her, why? You don't see that? You don't see that your mom and then? No, you know, it's weird, though? Because I would call myself, like, when it comes to relationship, I'm both affectionate. But I don't feel like I saw that with my parents.

Like, they showed love. You saw love? Yeah, they saw love. Yeah, I saw love. Where do you think you got your affection from then? I don't know. You don't have any fucking affectionate? I'm saying in a relationship.

Yes, I am. I'm mad affectionate. Like, I love kisses, all that stuff. Yeah, I hate it. Evil. Why do you have evil? Evil Philly John. If I'm evil, it's coming from you.

Wow. Wow. But I do agree with what you're saying, which is like, like I've learned what to expect in a relationship from my parents. Word up. My parents have had a loving marriage. It's been very fortunate. That's not to say they haven't had like rocky times, but the way that they loved

one another was really beautiful. And so that's kind of what I expect in a relationship. Now, that can also be, you could argue, like, to my detriment. because I won't tolerate anything else. There are some people that grow up in really dysfunctional marriages. So when they meet someone who meets the qualifications of that dysfunction, they are not deterred by it. That is what they expect.

That's right. And that's a dangerous thing to continue in a relationship. You always always said this. It hurt people, hurt people. That happens in different ways. It's like if you saw the way that your mom treated your dad, You might think that's what a woman should treat you like. Bro, my dad literally told me when I was young and I confronted him about cheating on my mom.

He literally said to me, you only got one girl? Yeah. Like you look me in my eyes like, man, one day you'll understand. Well, I don't know. This is why I'm very proud of you. And I don't mean that a patronizing way. I appreciate it. Only to grow up to tell me I was right.

Well, because your father grew up. That's right. But yeah, like you have every reason to like stay in your ways, right? And you have no real incentive to change it outside of like you love your family and you love your wife. But like everything's going well in your life. It's not like you're hitting rock bottom. You're like, I need to change this. You hit rock top and you need to change it.

You know what I'm saying? Like, yes. And I have people close to me who have decided to change to not continue a train. friend in their family. Simple as that. Break generational curses. I didn't start going to therapy because I was losing.

I was winning like a motherfucker. You weren't happy. You go to home and you're not happy. At the end of the day, that's why Michael Jackson man in the mirror makes me cry every motherfucker time. Because that is the truth. When you look in the motherfucking mirror,

that's what you see. Like that is the, you have to go to bed every night. Happy with who you are. That's it. If you're not doing that, trust me. You will know. There's a, my father's father was, by all accounts, a horrible father.

And just not really about the kids. Just, you know, I don't want to put shame on the dead, but just not, just a kind of bad guy. And my dad is like my hero. I think he's a literal angel. And I'm like, wow, you broke that. Like, you broke that. You broke the generation of cards. I can't wait to like do that for our.

kids, you know, like, I can't I wait to continue that? Because I learned from this. And it's like, you, you could have continued it. But you broke it, man. Yeah, because that's, that's fucking awesome. You should be really proud of yourself. You're only going to look at it two ways, right? You're either going to be just, you're going to be just like the hurt, right? Or you're going to break that generational crush. You're going to do the exact opposite. It's either going to be either or you're either going to be just like what you hate or you're going to do the exact opposite. I did both. I was just like it at one point, but then when I saw myself really becoming that, because I've never, I've always been aware enough to know I don't want to be that.

You didn't admire that behavior. No, not at all. So when I started, when it started becoming me, I'm like, what the fuck is happening? Yeah, I don't want to be someone I don't mind. How am I becoming what I despise? I'm not saying I hate my dad. I love my dad. I hate it. But the behavior. I hated his behavior. Yeah. So it was just like, God, damn. So that's what really made me like, number one, quick cold turkey. I'm just like, I'm fuck all that. Fuck all that infidelity.

I'm done with that. And now I got to really go do the work on myself because clearly something's broken in here. That you even need to go do that? Absolutely goddamn lootly. Yeah.

Yes? Can you go on the mic though? But did, for just trying to, I guess, separate black and white because I feel like with my family or my parents, I knew they loved me, right?

But they never said, oh, I love you until I started getting older. Was that the same thing, Charlotte? The women in my life did. Not my dad. My dad never told me that shit when I was little. Not that I remember.

My parents both came from families that were maybe not the most outward with their love. So I think that they were trying to change that. So they were very loving. You know, like saying I love you is a very normal thing with my family. Like I probably kissed my. my dad on the lips too old.

Is there such a thing? I think so. Like, I think you reach a certain day. Like, if our stumbles rubbing against each other, I think it's probably too old, you know. I don't know, man. No, but I guess what I'm saying is that it was very open and that environment was there.

But I also think that came from, like, them being quite loving and affectionate. Now, I grew up in a dance studio. So, like, dance in and of itself is quite affectionate. It's tactile. You're, like, touching, holding, moving, like seeing them embrace was a kind of normal thing in life. So, but yeah, so that's what I assumed is normal.

And like, that's how I am in my relationships. Well, it depends, right? Like, maybe. Both my parents, they would tell me they love me. But they got divorced early. I mean, I'll give you a good example. So my mom's from Scotland. My dad went to Scotland for the first time.

So it's one of the few stories my dad still has locked in his, in his memory, his memory is gone. But he always tells the story of my dad going to scottom for the first time to meet my mom's family. And my mom comes from like very humble beginnings, the most humble beginnings.

And then comes to America and becomes like three-time U.S. ballroom dance champion, like this immense success, right? And he goes there and there's no conversation about her success at all. There's nobody brings it up.

Nobody even asks. There's no talk about what she's achieved. And it's her first time back. in like years and my mom was like don't say anything don't bring it up is totally my dad was like appalled because he's enamored by this woman he thinks that she's just the most magical human being like comes from nothing and like built her success like and but there's a perfect example that's just not how they showed their love now if you ask my mom if she was loved from her family she's like i always felt i could go back they would be there for me they'd take care of me they'd do whatever she always felt

there was love and support there but it wasn't executed and in the same way that maybe we would do here in America. You know, so, yes, different cultures will behave differently. Because if you look at like black Dominicans, for example, they're going to love, like

Latin culture is just so full with love. You know what I mean? Like, your mother is so full with love. Like, it's a beautiful thing. Taylor's mom's filled with love. But it could be you. It could be you. Taylor, you're the evil one. I'm not, no, don't do that.

Your mom, yo. She's loving, my mom is the most nice. She's very loving. But I'm saying when it can't stop. When I'm saying, when it came to like raising us, like even with my brother,

if you were having discussion, like they didn't want to be like, all right, see, I love you. Like, that wasn't in a sentence. I'm not.

But I remember. Josh, you're crying out of one hot. This one still need to be dancing. No, but the only, the only reason why I'm saying that, because I ask them like, how can we don't say we love each other,

whatever? I asked them a long time ago. Maybe they don't love you, Taylor. I can see why. Stop! Look, but they were saying, they're like, you know we love you. I know it, but we don't say it. No, I need to hear it.

There's a difference between, yeah. There's a difference between knowing it and, like, wanting that constant validation for it, you know, and we're humans. We do need reminders. I need constant validation. Yeah. My wife is fully aware of that. Yeah. Okay.

Yeah. That shit is exhausting probably for her. Oh, my God. Yeah. It's not even just her. All my people's day know, they're like, oh, Let them go ahead. I'll get, hi, ho, you want to be seen.

Hey, right. Like, literally, that's how it is. And remind them, yeah, this me want to be seen, made us millionaire. I would like to. And it didn't even got to be about the money. Just like, I was the kid who, you know, would go out in the yard and get stung by a bee just for attention.

Yeah. And you turned that into something. What? Success. What did Rachel point out? What did she say? You were saying, you were like, Is this day and they're like waiting for her to hug you?

Like, you want me to hug you so you can leave? Yes. This guy is good. She would Rachel, no, that's somebody who knows me but 13 something years. Yeah. Yes. That's cheat. Yes.

What the fuck? I need a hug for I go. God damn it. I don't want to make me make me think y'all hate me. But isn't that crazy? Because most people probably never assume that about you. They'd be like, hey, man, this guy is the most confident dude in the world. And he's so self-assured.

He could do anything. You could achieve anything. and deep down you're going into certain interactions where you're like, hey, I need to know that y'all think that I'm great and think I'm funny, you think I'm loved. It's not even that. I just want to always,

I want people to know I love them. I want people to know that I want you to love me as much as I love you. Right. And you feel like they might not until they prove they do. It's not even about to prove it. I just want to feel it.

I can't explain. I just want to feel it. I don't need you. Like it's something as simple as a hug. All I wanted was a hug. That's all I wanted. Why? Why? What would that hug? Because you never know. It's a Friday.

Y'all going into the weekend. She going her way. I'm going mine. I'm not, I didn't see, I'm not going to see her this weekend. Yeah. Anything can happen, bro. Anything can happen. Like, you'll tell your people you love them, hug them. You know what I mean? Like, you want your, if that is your last moments, like, make those moments meaningful. Like, that's just how I feel. And I feel like that with all my people. Like, yo, I'm not legal. Such and such still here. All right. Let me go say peace. if I care about them. You know what I mean? We're also at a certain age where we're like reflecting a lot more. And I think that the older we get within this,

there's like a gratitude built in. We're so grateful. Yeah. You're so grateful you're able to achieve the things. That's it. You've been able to achieve. I've been able to achieve. And you're just so grateful for the people around you

that helped you do that and loved you and supported you. So it's like, yeah, there's almost like a creepy, eerie feeling. We're at the age where people, start passing away, like friends of ours that are older, but still, like, people we looked up to. And it's just, man. Oh, it feels fragile. Life gets fragile.

Younger. Like, life feels fragile. That's exactly, that's exactly the best way to put it. And the weirdest thing is you work so hard. Ugh, life is so funny. You work so hard to realize none of this should matter. Not even none of his matters because I don't subscribe that because I think it does matter. I think it's beautiful what we've been able to create and do.

but like you work so hard for security and life has this way of reminding you that like there is no security. It's like if I want to do something, if I want to end this, I can end it like. Right now. And accepting that is the hardest thing in the world. Also the most freeing though.

Oh, God, it must be so liberating. Also the most free. I'm getting, I think I'm there now. It's also the most freeing. I don't want it to happen, especially after having all these goddamn cardiovascular tests over the last few months. How'd those go?

They were good. I mean, it's just like the only thing I had was a high cholesterol, but that's come down. And, like, my calcium test was like a 76. So it's like 10, like 10% plaque on my heart arteries, I mean. So you need to get that down to? No, you can't. Oh, that's just. Oh, no, no, no.

Once that's there, that's there, you know what I mean? I guess you can have surgery and so, but I'm not even to that point. Like, I'm fine. Like, I'm, like, that's a common thing. And doctors, doctors even call it coronary artery disease. but it's not like a fatal, fatal thing unless it was much higher, you know what I mean?

Unless it was much more plaque built up on the walls of my arteries. But, you know, stuff like that. All that stuff just does is make me appreciate life more. Yeah. And I think that's the moral of the story of what we're saying, right?

Yeah. Just appreciate life more. I mean, when you say the hug thing, it's like, yes, because I appreciate my people and I want them to know I appreciate them. You know what I'm saying? And when I leave them, I want to leave with the,

The same way we greet each other all the time is how I want us to leave with each other. That's it. Like, I don't ever just want to rush out somewhere and you hear about something. You're like, what the fuck? I feel, I, I feel that every time I go see my, my folks, I go, and I kiss my dad when I leave him.

And it's like this weird feeling where it's like, and I make sure I get that, I love you, you know, I make sure I get that back from him. Word up. I make sure he hears me say it to him. That's right. And it's like, That's right. That's the most important thing, man.

It's all that matters, bro. You know what? This episode turned out to be a really good episode. I was out of it in the beginning and maybe going through the motions. But sometimes being in like these states, like allows you to have a more honest, real conversation. Absolutely. When everything's feeling really good, it's easy to continue and coast on that. And that's fun too.

You're silly. You like talk about shit that doesn't matter. And that's fine too. And that's awesome. but sometimes when you're in a little bit more of a, I don't know, downstate. When you feeling pussy! What you mean? What you mean?

What do you mean? What do you mean? When you feel it a little vulnerable? Yeah, when you feel like pussy. Yeah, that's it. That's it. I just had to bring it back for the audience. You really just channeled your dad just now.

That wasn't my dad. That wasn't my dad. my dad. That was totally my dad. I remember, man. My dad was a wild boy. My dad wouldn't have said the P word. I'll tell you that. We know he said. But yeah, it's just. My dad, I'm like, it's okay, man. Sometimes I feel like a maggot too. Like, what?

I don't know. It's cool. It's cool. It is. It is. It is. Shall we do some asking idiots? If you want to? Unless you want to end on this note? Oh, we could just end on this. This is beautiful. I'm with this. Okay. Let's go. Yes, it's okay. It's okay. It's okay to not be okay, and it's okay to express that you're not okay.

And sometimes expressing that gets you closer okay. Yeah, absolutely. Holding that shit in is just a burden. Oof. I'm with you, my brother. Vomit. As always, if you listen to this podcast, you think we're smart,

you think we're intelligent, you think we're brilliant, you're absolutely right. But if you listen to this podcast, you think we're just a couple idiots and don't know shit, you're right, too. It's the brilliant idiot's podcast.

Thank you for listening. Peace. Thank you.
